The Power of GRC
GRC has evolved from a set of practices and technologies to improve compliance and audit, but now is focused just as much on enterprise risk management and conduct risks. The next stage in GRC development will unleash the power for GRC programs to drive improvements in strategic planning and business performance. At the same time, emerging risks associated with disruptive technologies will require a greater emphasis on big data analytics. This session will include best practices for GRC and the pitfalls to avoid with a GRC program.
